As federal agents go through evidence, citizens are left wondering about the potential impact on governance and public trust.
FBI agents searched the home of Deputy Mayor Brian K. Williams, as part of their inquiry into a bomb threat targeting City Hall.
This unprecedented move came after the Los Angeles Police Department initially identified Williams as the source of the threat.
The LAPD found no immediate danger and referred the case to the FBI due to Williams’ high-ranking position.
Mayor Karen Bass was promptly informed of the federal investigation, KCAL News reports.
Williams’ career in public service includes roles as deputy mayor and assistant city attorney in Los Angeles.
Now, his reputation hangs in the balance as accusations intensify.
Williams’ attorney, Dmitry Gorin, asserted that his client “strongly maintains his innocence and intends to vigorously fight the allegations.”
